Chelsea sold Timo Werner and credited away Romelu Lukaku in the mid year, and keeping in mind that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang participated in the late spring alongside wide forward Raheem Real, and January marking David Datro Fofana watched on at the City Ground, their top Chief Association scorers are Authentic and Kai Havertz on only four objectives.
"They didn't cover themselves in greatness, Lukaku and Werner, yet would they say they are a superior group without those two? Are they to a greater degree an objective danger without those two?" asked Souness.
"At the point when you take a gander at huge football clubs and who simply decides, toward the beginning, when this new consortium dominates, Petr Cech, Marina Granovskaia, and Thomas Tuchel all leave the club, and Todd Boehly declares himself as new overseer of football, present moment.
Assuming that you've lost two strikers and you go out and burn through £270m+ on safeguards, for the most part, where is your football thinking? Doubtlessly your need is to proceed to get a striker from some place.

In any case, previous Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink didn't feel the issue was as direct, regardless of the club scoring only 12 objectives in Potter's 10 Head Association games in control.
He additionally highlighted injury issues inside the crew - yet cautioned there stayed enormous tension in the group to complete in the Bosses Association qualifying spots.
"I don't believe that is the main issue," he said about the group requiring a No9. "Not just the strikers score objectives. Likewise midfielders score objectives.
The issue isn't the No 9, it's few positions. The midfielders aren't scoring objectives, not making an adequate number of possibilities.
"I think they are excessively far from the best four. Indeed, they truly do miss a few significant players. Reece James, N'Golo Kante, Ben Chilwell.
"He's had a ton of wounds, you really want to give him time. Assuming that you will change [manager] in the season, and everything are going on, you want to give him additional opportunity to shape this group.
"In any case, Chelsea can't be out of the Bosses Association two years straight. It looks this year like they will be out of the Bosses Association… however he really wants time."

"He's played 10 Chief Association games and dominated four, lost three. Assuming you were in Abramovich's time, you're under gigantic strain," Redknapp said.
"There will be an immense change one year from now or somewhere in the vicinity, Jorginho is out of agreement, Kante regardless of whether he signs is as yet easy to refute, there will be a great deal of changes.
"He'll require time - there's no good reason for getting these players and not giving him time."
